Here’s Why Trump’s Reversal On Immigration Means Nothing

Donald Trump has once again done a complete reversal on policy. This time the flip-flop is on immigration. But if you’re trying to pin down exactly what his immigration policy is now, good luck. Because the truth is….it depends on the day and the audience.

If Donald Trump is consistent about one thing…..it’s being inconsistent.

There is virtually no issue that Trump hasn’t flip-flopped on, and usually his positions have flipped, flopped, and flipped again. But the one issue that he has been adamant about for over a year now is immigration.

He won the Republican primary in large part due to his strong speech about immigration. The two things that he has been repeating for months are that he would build a wall that Mexico will pay for and that he would mass deport 11 million undocumented immigrants. Well until now, that is.

Why his supporters ever believed either of those plans is beyond me. The truth is that neither of them will ever happen, even if (God forbid) he were to win the Presidency.

Trump has been full of shit his entire campaign. His pattern is clear. He says whatever he thinks people want to hear at that time. After he made the last reversal on immigration in March he said, “You have to have a certain degree of flexibility.” And by “flexibility” he means repeatedly lying about where he stands on just about everything. Your guess is as good as mine how he’d actually govern.

So before you start thinking that Trump has finally clarified his immigration policy, give it a week. It’s like the weather in Florida….give it a minute….and everything will change.

And if you want proof of that just take a look at the lists below….showing how many different stances he’s taken on this one subject.
